Programme Manager

Be part of our new team – Islington Digital Services: IDS

After undergoing a period of rebuilding and transition by bringing IT and Digital back into the Council as an in-house sovereign service, we are pleased to be recruiting to a number of exciting roles in Islington’s new Digital Services. We are now starting to deliver our approved business plan to:

bring our current technology platforms up to date and fit for the future, supporting smart working to provide high quality services;

build an agile and customer focussed IT organisation that brings deep technical and business knowledge to how we deliver successful solutions that meet the needs of our residents;

unlock the digital capabilities of our workforce in making the most of what technology can offer to transform services.

At the heart of IDS is the drive to invest in growing our internal skills and making IT the trusted go-to place where solutions are delivered quickly, delivering excellent value and integral to the way our Council does business. If you want to be part of this journey please get in touch.

IDS has undergone a fundamental review, redesign and is now in transition and at the heart of that is the creation of our new programme delivery function. As programme manager you will be taking the lead on some significant and highly complex technology initiatives, working closely with the IDS leadership team and other senior leaders across the council to support whole systems transformation through technology enablement. We embrace the digital revolution in Islington in terms of how it can benefit our residents but we ensure it is executed in a highly disciplined and effective, results driven way. In this role you will be able to help shape our services in terms of how technology is adopted to deliver well and with the resident at the centre.
